In real life, the Platts would come unstuck very quickly under interrogation. When three people are lying and are being questioned separately, it's really difficult to get their stories straight, especially when detectives are asking hundreds of questions and going into the minutest detail. Inevitably discrepancies will start appearing throughout their evidence.

This being Corrie though, they'll probably convince detectives they had nothing to do with it (!)

When David looked down the drain, he gagged as a result of the smell but would a corpse still smell after all this time? Surely it would have decomposed by now?

The other issue is once it all unravels (or rather if the gory details are told, nothing left), why would anyone want anything to do with the Platts? Their name would be forever tainted for covering up a murder, yet I'd imagine they'd still have guests coming over, Sarah and David would still be employed and Gail and Audrey will remain as pillars of the community. I'm not saying they in real life they won't be forgiven by neighbours, but soapland forgiveness is far fetched. Just look at Tracy.

This is the result of no long-term planning. Things just done for the sake of 'shocking' viewers. This would have been a far better storyline had Callum somehow escaped, secretly got into contact with Max/Gemma and then returned on Christmas Day. Or they put his body in the boot, and Tony inconveniently stole the car and set it on fire. Anything that didn't implicate David, Kylie and Sarah, long-term characters. And I don't believe for a second Kylie wouldn't go to the police and just call it self defence. Why did David talk her out of it?

It's a similar issue on EastEnders but Bobby is still a child, and will probably end up on a youth offenders program and could easily return as an adult. If Kylie does get banged up, would be sad to see her character sign off like this.

Indeed, a family burying a corpse in their own house is utterly grotesque. They would be pariahs in their own community and would have to leave home. No doubt though, the show will find some way of glossing over the whole thing and carrying on as if nothing has happened.

Incidentally the murder / crime rate on the street has gone off the scale to the point of being utterly unbelievable. Tina, Frank, Sunita and Callum all murdered very recently along with the manslaughter of Maddie and Kal and several other recent residents are banged up in prison,

A Burner phone is just a cheap one that you Bin every day or every Hr, Callum had his for weeks everyone has his number so texts are on the servers, GPS may be sent to the phone company, Who really knows, but they will know what tower it was connected too and how close to it.

Reading this thread has made me think about the graffiti story, All the doors was changed so no splatter, Misting blood stains, and the lino floor has had lots of bleach on it.


A Spana? Who's was it? Ha, cleaned and put back in Jason's tools...

They might be pariahs in real life, but in Coronation st, Fiz, who dragged that poor sod across the street in a carpet and buried him in the factory is loved and adored by all.

And she nicked that old woman's money.

I'm not sure, but perhaps it depends how damp the conditions are?

According to this tracey is gonna change. http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/c...barlow-8083261 all I'll say is I'll believe it when i see it.

"Kate Ford teases the future of her much-loved character Tracy Barlow"

"Lovable Coronation Street villain Tracy Barlow is set for an image overhaul, according to Kate Ford"

Bits In Bold: Really?!

Also

"Fans were reduced to tears when Carla fled the cobbles in order to start a new life in Devon"

Yeah, right!

I gave up reading after "loveable".

Not wishing to pour cold water on the last 2 pages, but all I've seen is speculation, not a SOR in sight.

Creeps out of the thread and waits for the boo hiss comments.

I'll be booed as well then .. agreed.

Perhaps a "Corrie Speculation" thread is called for.

I agree but, as someone who only reads this thread, it is good for it to be kept updated whilst Corrie isn't being screened. Give it another hour and there'll be all sorts of SOR's to talk about! lol

but then the spoilers start to appear again ... posted on the assumption that er've all seen them anyway!

Did you mean spanner? What did happen to the spanner, did Kylie get rid or did she put it back in Jason's toolbox?

Noooooooooooo!

How would you comment on something that you thought suspended reality in an episode you'd just seen without saying what it was, without spoiling it for people who are going to watch the episode later rather than when it was broadcast?

Or do you mean people posting about what they've seen elsewhere about what will happen following on from the SOR in an episode?

I'm being thick, aren't I?

Now that reminds me, was the issue of the Platt's garage/drive ever resolved?

Well guess who is first to blamed for Callum's death Saying no more bout that! And on Fridays episodes some one talks to the police again saying nothing to spoil it for those fans out there

And as for Tracy changing her ways well go figure lol it can't happen!

Yes, but the speculation is based on Corrie's history of trivialising murder and wrongful arrests and convictions.

There should only be one conclusion to this storyline - Kylie, David and Sarah going to jail and Gail, Bethany and the children leaving Manchester......anything else will be an SOR.

Are the Platt's moving into Nick's place just now? I thought that's where Sarah, David & Kylie spent the night in Thursday's episode but David is acting like its the first time they've been there.

I thought so too.

Sarah, David, Kylie and Gail all arrested for murder. Really? Wouldn't they just be taken in for questioning?

There's something quite perverse about the two Platt women being involved in Callum's death and the disposal of his body under their house when they both have children by him.

Another SOR.... Are we actually meant to believe that ANYone would pay Sinead £150 for 2 hours of modelling?

Would anyone even pay her 150 pennies?

She would NEVER be a model. Not in a million years.
